Blanc de Hotot Rabbits are beautiful white rabbits with spectacled eyes, how can you not love them?
The Blanc de Hotot is a 6 class, commercial type, meat producing rabbit. That means that large litters 9 - 11, good mothering instincts with good milk production for the kits is also required. The breed must be commercially appealing to survive as a breed. A handful of people across the nation aren't enough to save it from disappearing, it must be attractive to small farm and commercial producers to survive in quantity and provide a gene pool that is needed to be healthy and productive.
Read about the history of the Blanc de Hotot.
| | Lestat has perfect eyes and great type and temperament. He's at the front of his cage waiting for some attention every time we go in the barn. No bad behavior like biting or spraying. Good rabbit. Lestat's sire is DC's Bond, 50% import stock. |
Leather has great Blanc de Hotot Fur! Without the long lusterous fur and the even longer guard hairs, it's not a Hotot. Leather also has a good broad head, good ears and a nice round full rump. |
| | April is a big rabbit and size is an important consideration for the Hotot, and she has put this weight on without being free fed. Large Litters and good milk production. DC's Bond is half import and LS's Sidney has large rabbits in her bloodline. |
| | Tapioca has a good commercial type and her kits have a good growth rate. Large litters running 8 to 11 kits. and she raises them all. Pulls plenty of fur for a good nest and makes LOTS of milk.

| | About ten black hairs on his rump. His weight is right at 9lbs and he maintains that on 3/4 cup feed daily. We call him "Spot" original, huh? |
